My goal as a city commissioner is to
work toward making Collegedale a place where all citizens feel inclusive and
enjoy a secure and pleasant community. Many changes have occurred since Collegedale was incorporated. It is important that all residents have the opportunity
to voice how they see their city grow and develop.
